Lessons Learned from a Community-led, Pilot Teletherapy Group for Older Women Living with Depression and HIV
Older women with HIV face challenges to their quality of life, including neurocognitive decline, early-onset menopause, and chronic health issues. Chief among these concerns is depression, the most common psychiatric comorbidity among people living with HIV, with rates twice as high among women as men. However, tailored interventions among older women living with HIV and depression are lacking. Following the ADAPT-ITT framework to adapt existing …
A Provider-Focused Intervention to Increase Universal HIV Testing among Adolescents in School-Based Health Centers
We describe a provider-focused intervention to increase universal HIV testing among adolescent users in a network of School-Based Health Centers (SBHC) and compare the rate of HIV test offer and acceptance for SBHCs with and without the HIV testing intervention. The intervention was implemented at the six largest SBHCs in the 12-site network and included system- and staff-level initiatives, including an implementation coach to support SBHC associ…
Longitudinal Associations of Psychiatric Risk Factors with Non-psychiatric Hospitalization in a Large Cohort of People Living with HIV in New York City
Hospitalizations among people living with HIV (PLWH) are frequent and costly. This study examined the association between psychiatric, HIV-related, and demographic factors and hospitalization rates among PLWH using data from the Einstein-Rockefeller-City University of New York Center for AIDS Research Clinical Cohort Database. Of the 10,215 PLWH included in the sample, 45% had at least one non-psychiatric hospitalization between 2009 and 2018, wi…
Association of Social Needs With Uncontrolled Viremia in People With Hiv
Tribalism in a Pediatric Emergency Department
This ethnography explored the organizational culture of a busy urban pediatric emergency department (ED) in the United States. EDs uniquely combine extreme patient acuity, high census, a high-stress unpredictable environment, and fast-paced complex communication. We found that tribalism characterized the organizational culture and was exacerbated by resource scarcity, changing leadership, and high patient volume. Tribalism affected work climate a…
Acceptability of a Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Vaginal Ring for HIV Prevention Among Women in New York City
Engaging and Sustaining Adolescents in Community-Based Participatory Research
Community-Based Participatory Research partnerships typically do not include adolescents as full community partners. However, partnering with adolescents can enhance the success and sustainability of adolescent health interventions. We partnered with adolescents to address health disparities in a low-income urban community. In partnering with youth, it is important to consider their developmental stage and needs to better engage and sustain their…
Understanding Failure of Condom Use Intention Among Adolescents
Although interventions based on cognitive theories can reduce rates of unsafe sexual behavior in adolescents, effect sizes remain small. This study was a qualitative investigation of inner-city adolescents' intentions to use condoms following participation in an intensive safer sex program. In-depth interviews with 26 adolescents were analyzed using standard qualitative methods. Although participants reported strong intentions to use condoms, the…
Cumulative Social Disadvantage and Child Health
CONTEXT. Disparities in child health are a major public health concern. However, it is unclear whether these are predominantly the result of low income, race, or other social risk factors that may contribute to their health disadvantage. Although others have examined the effects of the accumulation of risk factors, this methodology has not been applied to child health. OBJECTIVE. We tested 4 social risk factors (poverty, minority race/ethnicity, …
Children caring for their ill parents with HIV/Aids
Children orphaned by HIV/AIDS experience not only the trauma of a parent's death, but the stress of living with and often caring for an ill and dying parent. We interviewed 50 mothers ill from HIV/AIDS in both Mutare, Zimbabwe and New York, USA, and one child of each aged 8–16 about personal assistive care the child provided; other household responsibilities; hours/day children spent on chores; and parental/child mental health. Children provided …
The Association of Sexual Experience with Attitudes, Beliefs, and Risk Behaviors of Inner‐City Adolescents
We compared knowledge, attitudes, and demographic characteristics of 630 sexually experienced and 422 inexperienced inner‐city adolescents aged 14–17 years. Sexual experience was associated with indicators of risk previously reported in the literature: male gender, older age, single‐family home, smoking, drinking, and poorer academic performance. We found lower HIV knowledge in sexually inexperienced youth, which suggested an area of vulnerabilit…

Patient-Provider Communication During the Emergency Department Care of Children With Asthma
OBJECTIVES: Poor children's reliance on emergency facilities is one factor implicated in the rise of morbidity attributed to asthma. Although studies have examined doctor-patient communication during routine pediatric visits, little data are available about communication during emergency care. This study sought to describe communication during emergency treatment of childhood asthma to learn if a "patient-centered" provider style was associated w…
Psychological outcomes of a support intervention in mothers of children with ongoing health conditions
We compared depression, anxiety, anger, cognitive disturbance, and total scores on the Psychiatric Symptom Index (Ilfeld, 1976) for 365 mothers of 5-to-8 year-olds with diverse health conditions who were randomized either to an experimental (EG) or control (CG) group. EG mothers were offered a 12-month community-based support intervention; CG mothers received standard care. Posttest scores of EG and CG mothers did not differ significantly. Althou…
Content Validity of the Psychiatric Symptom Index, CES-Depression Scale, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory from the Perspective of DSM-IV
We compared the item content of three commonly used scales of psychiatric symptoms [the broad-band Psychiatric Symptom Index (Ilfeld) and two narrow-band scales, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (Radloff) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger)], with diagnostic criteria and criterion-based symptoms for Major Depressive Episode and Generalized Anxiety Disorder as they appeared in DSM-IV. The Psychiatric Symptom In…
Effects of a Peer Counseling Training Intervention on Psychological Functioning of Adolescents
A 3-month peer counselor training program was provided to 32 inner-city adolescents, 14 to 17 years of age, 18 of whom were chronically ill. Participants completed pretests and posttests of ego development and pqychiatric symptoms and were evaluated for counseling skills by their trainer. A comparison sample (n = 28) was tested after an equivalent time periodi Mean scores on the two psychological measures did not change significantly for the comp…
Who enrolls in prevention trials? Discordance in perception of risk by professionals and participants
Conclusions Experiences in our own Preventive intervention Research Center underscore that the way in which the program is presented may seriously influence which population subgroups are enrolled. Successful recruitment and retention often depend on whether there is congruence between the subjects' perceived needs and the stated agenda of the recruitment effort. Where there is discordance between the professionals' basis for concern and the clie…
Reinventing fidelity
In an ideal world, effective programs would be disseminated on a large scale, but many obstacles block program diffusion. To date, little guidance has been provided by program designers on how to implement the program in different sites with different personnel and client populations. This article discusses the debate between the "fidelity camp" and the "reinvention camp" and suggests an approach that reconciles the two positions: fidelity should…
Ego development and chronic illness in adolescents
To examine the effects of chronic illness on the psychological growth process known as ego development, scores were compared on the Loevinger Sentence Completion Test for 36 teens (16 boys, 20 girls) with chronic illness and 50 teens (16 boys, 34 girls) without chronic illness. Their ages ranged from 13 to 21 years, with a mean of 17.4 years. Most were Black (37%) or Hispanic (41%) and lived in poor or working-class neighborhoods. When age, sex, …
